Sepia Saturday 87 : 13 August 2011

My dip into the archives this week brings us a bit of a change. After weeks' of marble-cold statues, cold chrome bumper bars and robotic looking space suits, it's time for a little romance. And romance - or the Danish "Romantik" - is the title of this photograph by Sven Turck which comes from the collection of the Royal Library of Denmark (available via the ever-splendid Flickr Commons initiative). There is no date given, but I would guess the 1940s or early 1950s (Turck died in 1954). If you are looking for a theme for this weeks' Sepia Saturday (on or around Saturday 13th August 2011), you don't need my guidance, you can work it out for yourself. Love to all.

SEPIA SATURDAYis a weekly meme which encourages bloggers to publish and share old images and photographs. All that is required is for contributors to post an old image (it doesn't have to be in sepia) and provide a few words in explanation. If you could provide a link back to the Sepia Saturday Blog and visit as many of the other contributors as you can, it would also be appreciated. There is no weekly theme, as such, but some people like to use the archive image published with the weekly call as a kind of theme. There is no requirement to adopt such an approach : the choice of image is entirely up to you. Once you have published your Sepia Saturday post, add a link to that post to the Linky List published each week and leave a comment to let everyone know you are joining in.

A simply lovely couple in your theme photo for this week!...I didn't follow your theme in quite the same fashion...but as always every time I pull things together I learn more things ...especially about favorite places of mine like around Lake Calhoun....it is such a small and beautiful world in which we travel isn't it!

I am still a family history blog so I hope that I don't offend too many. I have a lot of pictures to share as I dig through the piles and I will tag along as a non=themer son of a gun. Yep my mom was a pistol.

I'd intended my post this weekend for last week, in part to celebrate my parent's 60th wedding anniversary. But I postponed it when we had a different theme. And now Alan has chosen a very suitable romantic theme, thank you. It's a different take on photographs than my usual. Cheers!

I've been gone for awhile too, but got one posted just before Saturday ends for me. Not on theme, but my latest installment from a newly discovered packet of family photos. Missed you guys!CeCe "My Tangled Vine"

Sepia Saturday

Launched by Alan Burnett and Kat Mortensen in 2009, Sepia Saturday provides bloggers with an opportunity to share their history through the medium of photographs. Historical photographs of any age or kind (they don't have to be sepia) become the launchpad for explorations of family history, local history and social history in fact or fiction, poetry or prose, words or further images. If you want to play along, all we ask is that your sign up to the weekly Linky List, that you try to visit as many of the other participants as possible, and that you have fun.
